First Dive Last Dive (1980 Navy/NOAA Film)

[bmorescuba]

Thank goodness Donna made it! She doesn't know a thing about decompressing!

Don't forget the #1 rule of SCUBA - stay with your buddy. (Wait...I thought it was never hold your breath) (Or wait...plan your dive and dive your plan)

Interesting to watch this and see what's changed and what hasn't.

Sorry if it's a re-post - I searched before posting.

Hilarious. Including early no-mount diving. But what are Scuba Jugs?

"I saw this video twice last night, I thought it was an important to learn. I wonder if Donna decided to join the U.S. Navy after she took her complete Scuba course. And I wonder where she is now, and if she's still diving. Snorkel Corey".

He had better gear than I started on, a Seatec Horsecollar BC, what decadence. Notice they used the 72 for the no-mount and AL 80's for the rest, so the tank wouldn't float to the surface when empty.

Jugs, cans, bottles, bombs, tanks, and so on, never leave a Navy Chief in charge of terminology.

Notice how the film was pitching for giving longer and better OW training, wonder if it worked? This was about the time that shops started asking for C-cards before filling tanks, the reason many, including myself, finally got certified.
